Shinn Covered Bridge

Shinn Covered Bridge is a historic wooden covered bridge in rural southeastern Ohio, northeast of Bartlett in Washington County, carrying a road over the western branch of Wolf Creek in Palmer Township. Built in 1886 by local carpenter Charles T. Shinn, it is a 98-foot single-span bridge whose local story connects its construction to the drowning of one of Shinn's children. Its weatherboarded walls, stone abutments, metal roof, and unusually vertical portals reflect both its design and preservation. Using the Burr Truss, it is one of Ohio's few surviving Burr king post arch truss bridges and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
